8,8,8,6

H Thou the contrite sinner's Friend,
Who loving lov'st them to the end,
On this alone my hopes depend,

That Thou wilt plead for me.

2 When weary in the Christian race,
Far off appears my resting place,
And fainting, I mistrust Thy grace,
Then, Saviour, plead for me.

3 When I have erred and gone astray,
Afar from Thine and wisdom's way,
And see no glimmering guiding ray,
Still, Saviour, plead for me.

4 When Satan, by my sins made bold,
Strives from Thy cross to loose my hold,
Then with Thy pitying arms enfold,
And plead, Oh plead for me.

5 And when my dying hour draws near,
Darkened with anguish, guilt, and fear,
Then to my fainting sight appear,
Pleading in heaven for me.

225

God the Holy Ghost.

L. M.

OME, Holy Ghost, and through each heart
In Thy full flood of glory pour;

Who with the Son and Father art

One Godhead, blest for evermore.

2 So shall voice, mind, and strength conspire
Thy praise eternal to resound;

So shall our hearts be set on fire
And kindle every heart around.

3 Father of mercies, hear our cry!

Hear us, O Sole-begotten Son!
Who with the Holy Ghost most high,
Reignest while endless ages run.

226

‘OME, O Creator Spirit blest!

COME,

And in our souls take up Thy rest;
Come, with Thy grace and heavenly aid
To fill the hearts which Thou hast made.

2 Great Comforter! to Thee we cry ;
O highest gift of God most high!
O fount of life! O fire of love!
And sweet Anointing from above!

3 Kindle our senses from above,

And make our hearts o'erflow with love;
With patience firm, and virtue high,
The weakness of our flesh supply.

4 Far from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant us Thy true peace instead ;
So shall we not, with Thee for guide,
Turn from the path of life aside.

ETERNAL Spirit, we confess

And sing the wonders of Thy grace.;
Thy power conveys our blessings down
From God the Father and the Son.

2 Enlightened by Thy heavenly ray,
Our shades and darkness turn to day;
Thine inward teachings make us know
Our danger and our refuge too.

3 Thy power and glory work within,
And break the chains of reigning sin;
Do our imperious lusts subdue,

And form our wretched hearts anew.

4 The troubled conscience knows Thy voice;
Thy cheering words awake our joys;
Thy words allay the stormy wind,
And calm the surges of the mind.

O shed Thine influence from above!
And still through endless time convey
The wonders of this sacred day.

2 In every clime, by every tongue,
Be God's surpassing glory sung;
Let all the listening earth be taught
The wonders by our Saviour wrought.

3 Unfailing Comfort, Heavenly Guide,
Still in our longing hearts abide ;
Still let mankind Thy blessings prove,
Spirit of mercy, truth and love.

229

JESUS, enthroned and glorified
At Thy Almighty Father's side,
Thy people's prayer inspire;
Thou art alive for evermore ;
Oh then, on us Thy Spirit pour ;
Baptize us now with fire.

2 Thou hast received rich gifts for men;
Now let the Holy Ghost again

On all Thy Church descend:

C. P. M.

Give boldness, power, and tongues of flame
To all who name Thy blessed Name;
Uphold them and defend.

3 The fulness of Thy life bestow
On us Thy members here below;
Revive each fainting heart;
Each sick and wounded spirit heal,
Thy beauty to our souls reveal,,
Thy light and love impart.

4 Blest Comforter, celestial Dove,
Thou Lord of life, Thou Fount of love,
Be Thou our inward Guest ;

230

Illumed and sanctified by Thee,
Thy living temples let us be,
Thine everlasting rest.

WH

HEN the blest day of Pentecost
Was fully come, the Holy Ghost
Descended from above,

Sent by the Father and the Son;
The Sender and the Sent are one,

The Lord of life and love.
